Off White Khadi Cotton Pleated Column Maxi Dress

Khadi refers to the entirely handmade. It is a fabric made from cotton that is hand-spun using a wooden spinning wheel and then hand woven. As it requires no electricity, the weaving of Khadi is the oldest form weaving fabric, and has been practiced on the Indian subcontinent for the last 5,000 years. Khadi is the ultimate symbol of artisanal craftsmanship as opposed to industrially manufactured goods, it is manufactured using solely human energy. It has renewed relevance in today's world of fast fashion as a zero carbon footprint fabric, it is woven from natural, organic fibres making it 100% biodegradable.

This clean lined floor length dress is made from pure off white cotton Khadi. The column silhouette uses the drape of the heavy weight handwoven Khadi fabric for shape. The yoke has been created with fine vertical pin-tucks placed against criss-cross pin-tucks from which pleats fall to the floor. Couture detailing is revealed on the back with the considered placement of the fabric covered row of buttons.
